Socks
notesNothing reveals the state of a man’s soul more than the state of his socks. As with the soul, the sock is hidden away most of the time and is almost never seen in full. Of course, flashes of sock can be glimpsed in odd, unguarded moments, much as a Freudian slip will reveal an aspect of the unconscious, but for the most part the secret sins of the sock are yours to bear alone. Socks suffer in silence. A hole in the toe may be unseen by the public but the knowledge weighs heavily on the man who wears them. It is a form of carelessness or poverty that reveals the amount of entropy in your life. Wearing elegant, well-fitted, bobble-free, holeless socks is the best foundation yet discovered for a happy existence.
